We’re seeking a design team to create the wayfinding & signage across both V&A East sites and to design the interpretation at V&A East Storehouse. We are looking for collaborators that share our vision to make arts accessible to all and who are committed to delivering cultural experiences that resonate with a diverse and underserved audience. This is a rare opportunity to contribute towards the shaping of a new type of museum experience, one that looks behind the workings of the institution, that democratises the objects in our collection and foregrounds multiple voices and perspectives.
